pushes him up). Which of Newton's Laws is the Hulk most closely
demonstrating? Why this law?

Answer:

1) The Newton's law the Hulk is most closely demonstrating is the Third Law of motion

Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

2) The reason why the Newton's Law the Hulk is most closely demonstrating is the Newton's Third Law of Motion is that according to Newton's Third Law of motion, forces exist in pairs, the action of the Hulk when he leaps upward by pushing against the the Earth (which can be assumed stationary in relation to the Hulk), is equal to the reaction of the Earth, which moves down slightly, away from its initial position.

However, due to the large mass of the Earth, compared to the mass of the Hulk, the downward motion of the Earth due to the reaction force (equal to the force with which the Hulk leaps) is negligibly small, such that the Earth can absorb the Hulk's leap force by reacting mainly locally, at the leap point  by forming a crater, while the Earth in general, remains in the same place
